The People’s Theatre in Pest was demolished in 1965, and we have long wondered what a people’s theatre could look like today. Or rather, a theatre in-between peoples and other entities – an internép/interpeople’s theatre. We are circling around cultural institutions like a flock of pigeons, while nesting ourselves in different places and different communities. A year ago we launched a placemaking process in the People’s Theatre street aka Népszínház utca.
And since every theatre has a season opening, we’ll be celebrating ours too, for 1 week! Because we like to open things and then not finish them.
Everyone is welcome (as always). Specifically no specific target audience. Each day of the opening week there will be something to see, do, laugh at and actively participate in.
Patrons of the season opening will be the doves of Blaha square, who are now occupying the empty space of the former People’s Theatre.
“Peace is the alpha and omega of all human friendly activity, all production, all arts, including the art of living”
Bertolt Brecht
